About Me

I love art! and love to sew! There is not a day that goes by where I am not creating something. Most of my work is completely random depending on my moods. I like to use a variety of upholstery, leather and other scrap materials to create one of a kind handbags. My love for nature and gardening inspires me to create unique handbags with flower details and bright colors and many of my pieces include insects and birds.

Change in plans. I guess the fabrics weren't really exciting me too much so I thought I would have a little fun today and play with paint and try a little fabric painting. We'll see how that goes. I will share some photographs later if they are worth posting here. Well, off to the post office I go and then time to have some fun!

Well I can say that this takes a lot of practice. I never let myself paint like this and its a challenge especially doing faces. I end up doing too much and it comes out looking funny. But I am here to have fun today right. My inspiration for attempting this painting comes from Paulette Insall who is obviously an amazing artist. Maybe someday with practice I will become as good as she is. I don't know her techniques or how she does what she does but she does offer classes and I am tempted to try them out sometime. Right now I am winging it and just experimenting with what I have. I bought a brayer and have been scared to use it and saw Paulette using one and it didn't look so bad so I thought I'd give it a try today. I don't own any stamps so everything I do is freehand. I used a sheet of flowers I pressed for reference and I thought that I would go over this piece and thread paint with the sewing machine. I hope that I don't mess it up too bad but I am not happy with it right now as it is so here I go.....
